Google folding phones have evolved all the way to the latest Pixel 11 Pro Fold, with a price of 60,990 yuan. If you are still hesitant to jump into the “Google folding” camp, you might as well take a look at the unboxing test sharing of the Free 3C channel to help you quickly understand what upgrades this generation actually has.

Lighter, thinner and more durable
The most noticeable upgrade in the appearance of this generation of Pixel 11 Pro Fold is that the body has become lighter and thinner. The folded thickness has been reduced from 10.8mm to 10.1mm in the previous generation, and has been reduced from 5.2mm to 5mm when unfolded. The weight has also been reduced from 258 grams to 239 grams. Coupled with the narrower screen frame, it actually feels less heavy in the hand than previous folding machines, and it is easier to use with one hand for a long time.
The new generation has also worked hard on durability. Pixel 11 Pro Fold has a new fiberglass composite back cover, reinforced gearless hinges, and a more durable glass-ceramic outer screen. Google claims that the overall durability has been increased by three times that of the previous generation. The structure of the hinge and inner screen has also been improved. After actually unfolding the phone, the central crease looks flatter. In addition, the peak brightness of both the inner and outer screens has been increased to 3,600 nits, 20% higher than the previous generation. Even if you go outdoors under the bright sun to read maps, reply to messages or take photos, the picture will still maintain good clarity.

Pro exclusive HiLight is also available
Pixel 11 Pro Fold also has the HiLight function unique to the Pro series. Currently, HiLight has two main usage scenarios. The first is that when a frequently used contact person calls, HiLight will light up as a reminder, so you can quickly determine who is calling from the light without picking up the phone.
The second is that when talking to Gemini, you can use HiLight to tell whether Gemini is thinking or listening. When thinking, the light effect will have a similar rotating effect. It is worth noting that HiLight only activates when the phone screen is placed downwards. At this stage, there are indeed not many application scenarios for HiLight. Google said that it will continue to expand its functions in the future, such as adding message reminders for important contacts, and does not rule out further connection with third-party apps to give this set of lighting effects more room to play.

Large screen and split screen make AI easier to use
Gemini Intelligence is a highlight. It is available in all models of the Pixel 11 series, which means that the phone has a smarter AI assistant that understands you better. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold, with its large folding screen and split screen advantages, can also bring a more intuitive experience when viewing information organized by AI.
Gemini Intelligence supports personalized smart services and can integrate information across Google’s own apps such as Gmail, Google Maps, Google Docs, Google Calendar and YouTube. For example, if you ask Gemini “My Osaka itinerary”, you can automatically find the travel itinerary from Gmail and mark the relevant locations on Google Maps, saving you the trouble of switching apps back and forth.
Another practical function is “voice modification”. If you speak directly in Gmail or Google Keep, AI will convert it into text and automatically remove “um”, “ah”, “that” and other spoken redundant words, so you can understand it even if you change your words midway. The measured response speed is fast and the accuracy is also high. Google said that the new Tensor G6 chip improves AI performance by 50%.

The main lens is upgraded with AI zoom up to 30 times
Pixel 11 Pro Fold has also upgraded its camera this time. The 48-megapixel wide-angle main lens has been replaced with a new sensor, which further improves the photosensitivity and allows for better night photography performance. In terms of telephoto, it supports 5x optical zoom. With the support of AI, the super zoom has also been increased from the previous generation’s maximum 20x to 30x, allowing more room for shooting distant scenes.

in conclusion
Judging from Google’s previous generations of folding phones, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold is indeed the most complete generation at present. However, compared with competing products such as Samsung, there is still room for improvement in terms of thinness and lightness of the body and multi-tasking experience. Therefore, the key to whether to choose Pixel 11 Pro Fold or not lies in how much you value the Google ecosystem and native AI experience.
